<p>Ariana Grande</a> got emotional while performing</a> her new song “Thank U, Next” on the newest episode of Ellen. The 24-year-old sang the tune, which expresses her gratitude for all her ex-boyfriends, in stiletto heels. They proved a little dangerous when she tripped on stage! Watch the video above to a taste of the tearful performance and to see her stumble.</p><br /><p>The “God Is A Woman” singer released the song last Saturday, November 3. Fans thought it would be a diss track aimed at ex-fiancé Pete</a> Davidson</a>, but it’s something more beautiful and kind than that. Instead, she thanks Pete and her other exes — Big Sean</a>, Ricky Alvarez</a>, and the late Mac Miller</a> — for all that they taught her about herself. It’s an ode to self-love.</p><br /><p>Her Ellen performance</a> was her first since the song came out. It was an homage to the last scene in First Wives Club</a>, during which Diane Keaton</a>, Bette Middler</a>, and Goldie Hawn</a> triumphantly sing “You Don’t Own Me.” The “Side to Side” singer shared screenshots of the movie on her Instagram</a>.</p><br /><p>But that’s actually where the trouble started. Like Diane in the film, Ariana jumped on a chair. When she came down, she stumbled and fell, but quickly caught herself. “Oh my God,” she said softly. She laughed a bit going into the next verse.</p><br /><p>Later in the song, she sang, “One day I’ll walk down the aisle / Holding hands with my mama / I’ll be thanking my dad / ‘Cause she grew from the drama.” At this part, she teared up, her voice choking. Behind her was a prop wedding cake, reminding fans (and Ari) of the wedding that never was</a>.</p><br /><p>At the end, she and her backup dancers put on their white coats and ran into the audience. And because work never stops, Ariana released the video for her song Breathin’</a> today, too.</p><br /><p>What do you think of Ariana’s performance of “Thank U, Next”?
